Message: [QUOTE="MU in MKE, post: 3205004, member: 9984"] If anyone gets this, it is a Marquette fan. In Wisconsin you have two high major MBB programs in University of Wisconsin Madison and Marquette. Wisconsin fans have the same perspective as described above. The media tends to cover the Badgers to a much greater extent. It is almost expected that if you live in WI that you are a Badger fan. This is infuriating to MU fans and has created a fierce rivalry. However, in the end, they both have strong fan bases and the product is more exciting because of the dynamic. If you think being a state school somehow raises UConn above the rest of the conference, you may find otherwise. Where a state school has pure numbers of alumni and a general presence, the smaller private colleges usually have a much more engaged (as a percentage) following. [/QUOTE]
